Go Wild With the Adventure Tourism Meet 2025
Indian Express Online Media, the maverick in shaping the nation's conversations on sustainable tourism, announces the second wave of the ADVENTURE TOURISM MEET (ATM), taking place on 27th June 2025, at the swanky Hyatt Centric, Dehradun. Buckle up for a day filled with lively debates, groundbreaking ideas, and game-changing conversations on adventure tourism in India, particularly in the lofty hill states.
Now, you might ask, "What's the big deal about this ATM 2025?" Well, we're here to spill the beans!
Indian Express Online Media is famous for assembling the brightest minds in tourism, (please don't call them "nerds"!), comprising policymakers, tour operators, and innovators, on one platform, fostering collaborations and exchanging insights. The inaugural ATM event, which went down in Shillong in 2024, was a game-changer, spotlighting the unbounded potential of the Northeast as an adventure tourism Mecca, while wrestling with the broader challenges of this sector. Now, it's time to ride the wave in Dehradun!
Adventure tourism promises more than just adrenaline-pumping experiences; it provides a unique opportunity to engage with nature, immerse in culture, and connect with local communities. With its staggering mountain ranges, sacred rivers, and countless forest trails, Uttarakhand, the pearl of India's north, is primed to lead this movement. Topping up with an amalgamation of spiritual heritage, growing infrastructure, and policy support, Uttarakhand is the ultimate launchpad for India's adventure tourism aspirations.
So, what's in store at ATM 2025?
Curated panel discussions, expert presentations, and stakeholder engagement are on the cards, creating a comprehensive blueprint for the future of adventure tourism in India. From the craziest ideas, such as astral tourism and high-class camping ("glamping"), to serious talk about accreditation, safety technology, and the trailblazing roles of women in the industry – this meet will serve up a veritable smorgasbord of insights.
The ATM 2025 party doesn't stop there! It's all happening with the support of our Presenting Partner, the mighty Uttarakhand Tourism, and Powered By Partners, including the Uttarakhand Government and Meghalaya Tourism. Gasm much? Wait till you hear the main attraction: Shri Pushkar Singh Dhami, Chief Minister of Uttarakhand, will be the Chief Guest at ATM 2025, while Shri Satpal Maharaj, the Tourism Minister of Uttarakhand, serves as the Guest of Honor.
